Review on Andi4a Projector
First of all the Projector
Here the iball claims that this smart phone has the World's First 35 Lumens Projector and we found its okay but at the time of testing its just below the average so we say never expect this one like other projectors. And we do not know the exact life of the projector bulb, how many hours it will last long, regarding its replacement and the cost of replacement. Here the major part of the phone price goes for the projector. And another issue we found that long time of usage of the projector burns up the phone and there is no fans to cool it down (this reduce the life of the bulb). While running projector connect the phone to charger otherwise it will drain the 1500mAh Battery in no time. Here the projector can display only the content inside the phone it cannot display stills from an external source like from the laptop, desktop etc. Along with that with the projector phone is pretty heavy and feels a bulky design.
Next the Display, Operating System and Processor
Next the Display, Operating System and Processor
The 4”IPS WVGA capacitive Display seems to be okay and the touch screen is very responsive too and the viewing angles are also good . And We like the Android Jelly bean operating system but no mentioned about the upgrade. 1Ghz processor is fast enough but not for high end games and multi tasking.
Now Battery, Memory and Connectivity
We are very not happy with 1500 mAH we already mentioned it in the projector section that is with a projector on phone it need more that 3000mAH for long run. On the memory side just 512MB and its not a combination for Jelly bean. The 4GB internal and 32GB external storage seems to b okay. And on the connectivity side it has 3G, wifi, bluetooth and GPS etc.
VERDICT
We found this phone to be a basic phone with a big projector mounted on it. And its over priced too we know it gone for the projector. With Less battery, Low ram and 1Ghz processor it will be difficult to run a OS like Jelly bean. Maintenance of this phone seems to be very expensive because of the projector bulb. For a price of 17990 INR you can buy much better branded phone from the market and All we have to say is that think twice before buying it.
